In which of the following processes the heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system?
Correct answer: C. Adiabatic
- A. Isochoric
- B. Isothermal
- C. Adiabatic
- D. Isobaric
Explanation
In an "adiabatic" process there is no exchange of heat. Hence option C is the correct answer.

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.

Which of these is constant in the adiabatic process?
A certain engine that operates in a Carnot cycle absorbs 3.347 kJ at 400ºC. How much work is done by the engine per cycle?(The temperature of the sink is 100ºC).
The plot of pressure on the Y axis and volume on the X axis, at constant temperature is called:
"The convection process transfers heat faster than radiation".
One kcal is equal to _.
A reversible carnot engine converts 1/6th of heat into input work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62oC, then the efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source and sink is:
